Installing and setting up the TrueNAS Core 12 Plex plugin
Plex is perhaps one of the best media server applications designed to organize and stream videos, music, and pictures to any Windows 10, macOS, and Linux machines, as well as other devices like Xbox One, smart TVs, streaming boxes (e.g. Roku), and mobile devices using the Plex client or web application. You can think of this client-server solution as your private version of Netflix.
Although you can set up a standalone Plex server, if you already have a FreeNAS server for sharing files on the network, you can easily set up a plugin to turn the file server into a media streaming service for your home. Before you can start streaming your media files, however, you'll need to install the Plex plugin on FreeNAS using the Jails system, configure the storage, and set up your Plex library.
This guide will walk you through the steps to install and set up the Plex Media Server plugin on FreeNAS version 11.2 or higher.
